Top 10 Gins for Spring
Copper Lion Dry Gin
Made to capture the feeling of being enclosed in a fresh, green Cotswold garden at tea-time, Copper Lion Gin has enough complexity, balance and texture to be drunk on its own, as well as mixed. Each small batch of the gin is crafted by founder, Minnie, in the heart of the Cotswolds with a recipe of 12 English garden botanicals, resulting in notes of fresh cut grass, juniper and gingerbread. What could be more Springtime?
The Sassenach Wild Scottish Gin
Noted for its creamy, soft mouthfeel, this tasty Scottish gin was crafted by Outlander actor Sam Heughan, to reflect the flavours of his childhood in the Dumfries and Galloway. Crab apples, rhubarb, and fragrant pink heather grew in abundance, and so these locally foraged botanicals were utilised in the expression, alongside Scottish juniper, pine resin, bramble leaf and toasted oats.
The Loch Fyne Botanical Gin
From the shores of Loch Fyne comes an outstanding Scottish gin. Elegantly balanced and well-rounded, this gin flawlessly blends Scottish maritime botanicals. Simply gorgeous, with notes of the Scottish sea side.
Seventy One Gin
A luxuriously extravagant gin, this spirit is infused with the rare 'Queen of the Night Cactus' plant. Known as 'selenicereus glandiflorus' in the scientific community, the flower blooms only once per year, and only ever in the dead of night - wilting by dawn. Finished in hand selected oak casks, Seventy One Gin rests for 71 nights, marrying the gorgeous botanicals in harmony. Expect aromas of crushed juniper and pine needles, which intertwine with a palate full of rose petals, aromatic botanicals and a delicate hint of citrus.
135 East Hyogo Dry Gin
If your a big fan of Roku gin, then this can be your next Japanese spirit obsession! By combining botanicals from East and West, three traditional ones from Europe and five uniquely Japanese ones - all sourced from small local producers and the best specialists in Japan - Master Distiller Kimio Yonezawa has created a new innovative and unconventional type of gin: the “Hyogo Dry Gin”. Perfect for an elevated, asian-fusion style G&T.
Aiteal Irish Gin
Voted Gold at the World Gin Masters Awards, this 100% Irish gin is made with exclusively rare Irish juniper and Irish Whey Spirit. Lough Ree micro-distillery have made one of the world's only gins to be made solely with juniper, gins' principal botanical. The word gin actually comes from the old English word genever, derived from the Latin for juniper! Here, Aiteal is the Irish word for gin. Expect bold flavours of fragrant juniper, along with green herbal notes.
Isle Of Harris Gin
See what all the fuss is about with the critically acclaimed Isle of Harris Gin. This classic expression beautifully captures the nature of the Isle of Harris due to its inclusion of nine carefully selected botanicals. The hand-harvested sugar kelp plays a big role in creating the gin's stunning maritime flavour profile. On the nose you can expect refreshing lime, pleasant spices, and sea salt complemented by gentle herbal notes. The palate is a complex mix of fresh pine needles, coriander, and grapefruit zest. Yum.
Botanist Rested Gin
One for the whisky lovers! The Botanist Cask Rested Gin embodies Bruichladdich Distillery’s Whisky-making heritage and botanical expertise, by maturing the dry gin in a selection of fine Islay casks. The fragrant notes of 22 hand-foraged botanicals combined with wood spices create a vibrant and complex cuvée that redefines what gin can be.
The Lakes Pink Grapefruit Gin
Made with water drawn from the stunning Lake District and distilled over a luxurious length of time in a traditional copper pot still, this is a terrifically smooth gin. Expect the characteristic zesty pink grapefruit on the nose, with vibrant notes of juniper and herbaceous aromas. The palate is smooth, balanced out with fresh citrus and juniper dryness. The finish is smooth, long, effervescent and refreshing. Sure to impress!
